Last week my post got posted on reddit and was on the homepage for over 24 hours which I as totally not expecting and the end results was my blog being down for a large amount of time over those couple of days. I had to set my DNS records to 127.0.0.1 as all I had at the time to fix the issue was my phone and since I receive free hosting from my old company (WebClick – http://www.webclick.com.au) the last thing I wanted to do was crash their servers.
I have now installed wp-supercache so hopefully if it every happens again, my blog will handle it 10x better.
